‘Rhymes with wrong’: Vhong Navarro trends after Kate Alano’s rape posts

TV personality Vhong Navarro recently trended on social media after actress Kat Alano posted her rape experience from a “still famous actor” whose name “rhymes with wrong.”
 
In her Twitter account, she spoke about how rape should not be blamed on the victim’s clothing, noting that when she was raped, she was wearing a shirt and jeans.


 
“When I was raped by #rhymeswithwrong, still famous celebrity who had smear campaigns to destroy my career and raped many more, I was wearing a T-shirt and jeans,” she wrote.
 
She added that the rapist even drugged her, and that taking her clothes off was difficult for him
 
“He drugged me too, so trying to take my jeans off was difficult for him. Hard to rape an unconscious person in jeans. #HijaAko,” she continued in the post.
 
Alano, however, said that she did not press charges against her rapist because his uncle was powerful enough to guarantee that the case will be dismissed.


 
“BTW, for everyone asking why I never filed. His uncle made sure that all cases against him would be dismissed. I found this out firsthand. Also, they have been waiting to file a case against me to silence me and discredit me in the media, knowing I could never get justice by filing,” Alano said.
 
Alano supported Frankie Pangilinan’s #HijaAko movement following the latter’s argument with TV broadcaster Ben Tulfo, who said that women’s clothing is a major factor for being raped.
